Form factor would actually be a massive selling point for me. I loved my Vita because it allowed remote play and had proper controller sticks and buttons, without the need of bringing a separate controller to connect to my phone which I would then need to position somewhere. So while this device might not add anything new, it might offer the same in a way that suits me better. YMMV.
There is room in budgets to pay attention to some good practices or enforcement thereof by peer review. But often - especially with custom-made sites - it is simply not enough. I've seen plenty of projects where the design company was granted bigger fees for more hours than implementation, stereotypically also making everyone overly complicated. Even during scrum sessions where developer input is more present, doing it quickly is a much larger focus than doing it right. In the end, that simply leads to sloppy code. This is of course not true for every situation, but I've seen it happen far too often.
Since I don't have a 4K HDR television (planned for next summer though), I'm not likely to pick up a Pro immediately. However, reviews can sway me, based on a very simple criterium: does it significantly improve PSVR. I've been extremely happy with my headset so far, but I do notice that some games look better in it than others, especially when it comes to anti-aliasing. I'm not expecting the Pro to improve upon the best experiences, but if it raises the median and average quality towards the best ones, it's day one after all.
The bigger problem with this article though is that it really doesn't belong here. This is not a technology issue, or even a science issue. This is an economics issue, and a monetary issue.
It fits "news for nerds, stuff that matters". Slashdot isn't strictly about technology.
Developer previously stated numerous times that it would take "hundreds of hours" to reach the "center of the galaxy (he misspoke and said Universe earlier...)".
Murray said that for typical players. This guy is by definition not the typical player and quite likely rushed towards the centre to reach the bragging rights of that particular goal, after all finding a planet isn't exactly a unique feat. Thereby skipping most of the discoveries, lore or sheer "it's just an interactive screensaver but damn it's pretty so I don't care" moments.
Mind you, people watch train footage. I've built the same repetitive, mundane, boring mob farms and whatnots as everyone else in Minecraft and I enjoyed every single block of it. So I'm pretty sure I will love No Man's Sky.
I ditched Facebook, it was a nice piece of groupware for consumers but the content has shifted to clickbait and nonsense. Also, Messenger turned into MSN/Myspace. Still use Whatsapp though. That said, when I used it, I tend to go for real name more these days than before. I'm all for anonimity where required and privacy where desired, but most of my internet presence doesn't require a pseudonym and there are actually benefits as well in using a real name: I controla far larger share of the information available when searching for that name.
Useless but obligatory my-ID-is-even-shorter post. That said, I also have a dummy in the 300s, so don't bother besting me from within the 400-5959 range.
Agreed. "Exposed ports" != "vulnerable ports".
True, but unnecessary exposure is still an extra risk incase of a vulnerability.
I wish I could stricten access to services such as IMAP, can't wait for my LTE provider to roll out IPv6 so I can open it up to just me and not the whole world (or everyone with the same provider).
But he is correct? There _are_ costs, potentially involving people being killed.
Except that in the real world terrorists use throw-away devices instead of relying on encryption.
According to the same table, so is PSN. And Playstation VR will work with the Vita. So sure, why not!
Corporation makes a profit while employees struggle to make ends meet. What a shocker.
Bernie Sanders, actually. Unless the flavour of the day has been the same for the past 40 years.
His apparent success

Most of the anti gun crowd, has never seen or held a gun in their lives.
And are happy to keep it that way.

If we allow the government to socialize internet access, we'll wind up with a system that is constantly in need of repair, upgrades, and endless red tape to get even the slightest thing done, along with constant pressure to charge rich people more and give access away for free to poor people in the name of 'fairness...' We need to be stopping the relentless growth of big government, not find more things for them to get their paws into.
So basically we'd end up with the same system corporations offer us, but (according to TFA) cheaper and faster. Sounds good.
